The Occupational Psychology Group (OPG) Level B (intermediate) qualification covers personality assessment, and enables successful participants to purchase and use the Hogan Personality Inventory (HPI) and Motives, Values, Preferences Inventory (MVPI). The HPI looks at the ‘Bright Side of Personality’ and is described by the BPS as ‘a theoretically sound, carefully conceptualised and well validated instrument offering practical utility for organisations’. The MVPI examines the ‘Inside of Personality’ and the BPS describes it as ‘soundly based assessment tool that will appeal to those seeking to assess employee motivation in a fairly in-depth way’. In addition, it exempts participants from some of the training required to purchase personality instruments from other test publishers.

With BPS accredited instruction delegates will gain the competence to interpret and provide feedback using the Hogan instruments. Useful as part of selection or development processes, gaining a comprehensive understanding of an individual’s personality provides great insight into their likely fit with the demands of a role and the culture of the organisation.
